Default Followed by fellow ISF owner

While driving today in Van Nuys Ca I spotted my third ISF in Los Angeles ever. I gave him the fraternal wave and he flashed his brights. He got on my tail and followed me into the parking lot where I was heading. We starting talking about the F and turns out he's the original owner of his 08 and a master tech over at Keye's Lexus. He's shared some great insight about the F and some tasteful mods he's done to his car. Great guy and another lexus enthusiast such as ourselves. Pretty cool if you ask me and makes me appreciate what a special car we own.

Cool! It always amazes me everytime I see another F on the roads. The exclusivity makes it more appealing, I think. Our rides definitely stand out on the crowd.

That would be cool to spot another F......unfortunately I'm the only one in my area that owns one......but that's also the main reason why I got it too.......exclusivity!!!!!!

Cool story. Something like that happened to be 3 weeks ago, a week after owning the ISF. I was driving next to a modified IS350, it was lowered, aftermarket wheels etc...I gave him the thumbs up but didn't acknowledge it.

i actually run into fellow owners like 3 times a week. probably bc i live super close to the toyota and lexus headquarters in torrance. i'd say out of the 15 or so i've been next to on the road, only 1 dood smiled and nodded back. haha

another time when my wife and i came out to my car at Mitsuwa, there was a brand new nebula grey F parked next to me. the owner was an older japanese man and we actually walked to our cars at the same time. he didn't speak much english; he just laughed, nodded and pointed to our cars when i complimented his.
